Imagine cruising through city streets in a vehicle designed for the world's toughest races. The Glickenhaus SCG 007S brings that fantasy to life.
Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG), an American automaker known for its passion for endurance racing, has unveiled the Glickenhaus SCG 007S – a road-legal version of its Le Mans hypercar. This car combines racing technology with everyday usability, a rarity in the world of hypercars.
Power and performance
The SCG 007S is powered by a 6.2-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 1,000 horsepower (745 kW) and 1,000 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automated manual transmission. Weighing just 1,550 kg (3,417 lbs), it promises exceptional acceleration and agility, although exact acceleration and top speed figures have not yet been revealed.
Racing technology on the road
The SCG 007S's chassis features double wishbones at the front and pushrods at the rear, along with adjustable anti-roll bars. The car is equipped with centrally locking alloy wheels and built-in jacks, allowing for quick tire changes - ideal for those who want to test their hypercar on the track.
Interior and comfort
The interior of the SCG 007S is minimalist and driver-focused. The driver's seat is centrally positioned, flanked by two passenger seats, reminiscent of the layout in the McLaren F1. Despite its racing character, the car also offers some comforts for everyday use, including air conditioning and hydraulically activated doors for easy entry and exit.
Exclusivity and price
SCG plans to build just 24 examples of the 007S, each priced at around $2.3 million (approximately €2.1 million). The car was unveiled at the prestigious Concours d'Elegance Villa d'Este on Lake Como in Italy, underscoring its exclusivity and prestige.
Conclusion: The SCG 007S is more than just a hypercar; it is the realization of the dream of transferring racing technology to the road. It combines extreme performance, advanced technology and exclusivity in one package. For those who can afford this masterpiece, the SCG 007S offers an unparalleled driving experience that combines the best of the worlds of racing and road cars.
